Recenzje

"For individuals who are looking for a concise, but in depth, review of a specific neurophysiological technique, this is the text for you. Editors Levin and Chauvel provide a thoughtful examination of the technical characteristics of a variety of neurophysiological techniques. There do not appear to have been any corners cut in describing the technical aspects of each measurement procedure. As a whole, the volume represents a significant advancement to the rapidly evolving field of clinical neurophysiology." --Applied Neuropsychology-Adult, April 2020
